A Slave to Jesus Christ!

Romans 6:16 (Wuest Greek):
“Do you not know that to whom you put yourselves at the disposal of as slaves resulting in obedience, slaves you are to whom you render habitual obedience, whether slaves of the sinful nature resulting in death, or obedient slaves [of Christ] resulting in righteousness?”

You could check every Greek lexicon there is, and you will find no usage of that word other than the word slave. What is remarkable about this is though this word is used about 150 times in the New Testament in one form or another - 130 times doulos itself, and then sundoulos, and the verb form, douloō - though it means slave, always means slave, only means slave, out of the 20 English translations of the New Testament - there are essentially 20 English translations of the New Testament - only one of them always translates doulos  slave; 19 of them equivocate, and do not do that
